In No Country For Old Men, they mention this killing in a throwaway line (it involves contract killing and stars Woody Harrelson)

I’ve been through a rage quit and a ‘got bored of not progressing’ quit, but I’ve kept coming back to the game. I’ve finished the game on the normal difficulty, still on and off making my way to finishing it on the hardest.

Slowly grinding my way through Sifu on Master difficulty.

If only Lemmy were ready for c/antimeme (and the confusingly adjacent c/bonehurtingjuice)

Since a lot of the discourse is around getting back to forums and the vibe of that era, this feels pretty apt.

Take that back, it’s clearly giving Judean People’s Front.

Yeah, I sent that ‘official government webpage’ to multiple friends and they seriously asked if it was written by Trump himself. It’s so surreal to read something like that and to know it’s not a shitpost.

Created a fake album cover inspired by this!

Which game is it, btw?

I think it’s fair to choose the smaller instance then, in the interest of diversification.

I’ve added a pinned FAQ to the community to address/clarify what’s been brought up in this thread so far. LMK if you have any other questions.

My actual preference is only that the final post show effort. I honestly wouldn’t mind if the base picture wasn’t OC, or even the uploaded picture, if the name of the artist/album and other information (possibly a tracklist or genre, like you mentioned) come together to evoke the unique vibe that album art often has. I didn’t want to write all that out, but some change will be necessary to how the rules are written at the moment.

I’ll probably go back and add something like that for what I’ve posted so far, but in the meantime, do mention what genres you think they might be. It would be quite interesting to see how different people interpret it.

I think decades of minimalist, ‘intuitive’ interfaces that abstract what’s going on in the background have made us too lazy to go beyond the bare minimum to switch platforms in general.

A common criticism I saw of the fediverse was the fact that you have to decide on an instance. As if any significant part of your life doesn’t require a certain amount of research before making a decision. We all just buy the car that the dealership tells us to buy, of course.

I remember reading a book that talked about public spaces and how we often think of malls as public spaces, but they have so many restrictions and ulterior motives that it doesn’t really hold.

They’re essentially the irl equivalent of centralised social media platforms. I hope once the fediverse really takes off, we can have ‘official’ platforms/instances that are run by governments that federate only to other ‘official’ ones. That seems like a better way to reach people, instead of Xitter.
